SUBJECT
The document begins by reciting that in 1821 John Harrison mortgaged property in Wrangle, Lincolnshire, to William Firth for £200. William Firth is now asking for repayment and, as a result, the mortgage is being transferred to May Beaumont. At the same time, John Harrison is borrowing an additional £40.

The property consists of a messuage with barn, stable, granary, other outbuildings, and 2 acres of land., It is bounded on the South and East by LITTLE LANE, (since "Little Lane" is capitalised in the text, it may well be a real road name).

It appears that John Walker is only acting as some sort of Trustee and plays little real part.
